Description
CBS 8 is Working for You after receiving an email from a viewer who said her husband spent days waiting for a room at UC San Diego hospital in La Jolla.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said her husband was placed last month in a hallway and then in a conference room for four days.
“There is no privacy in the conference room setup for 12 patients” the woman wrote.
“The patients are handed ear plugs and eye masks to get some sleep. No one would want their family member treated this way,” she continued.
CBS 8 spoke to nurses who work at UC San Diego hospital in La Jolla. “There is no bathroom, you either have to go around the corner into the lobby where there's a bathroom or use the porta-potty or use a bedside commode,” said floor nurse Lizzy Jones.
